Playing iPod on home computer system

I need some advice regarding playing iTunes-purchased songs over my home computer system. I've seen various products that permit one to load music files onto a hard drive component linked to the stereo and even link to TV screens to control song selection, etc. None that I can find will play any songs purchased from iTunes. My house is set up in a way that does not easily permit plugging my iPod directly into the stereo and Air Tunes requires me to be at my computer to control song selection, etc. I just want remote access to song files (my house is fully wired) but don't want to give up all the iTunes music I've purchased. What am I missing? Is there a solution? Thanks in advance.

  • Play IPOD through my stereo system

    I bought a cheap Phillips chord to plug my ipod through my stereo system. The sound is different from song to song (as in loudness/brightness)and i have to keep adjusting the stereo volume or settings...is this NORMAL or is there somehting i am doing completely wrong......I have a good stereo systema nd would hate to have to buy an ipod sound system to play my ipod in the house when i have a perfectly good stereo system. Could it be the 6.99 phillips chord? am i supposed to change some settings somewhere?? THX again folks for your help.

    If I'm not mistaken, choosing that setting in your iTunes prefs doesn't effect iPod playback when it's not hooked up to a computer. If you need to normalize sound levels on your iPod, go to the settings in your iPod menu and turn on Sound Check.

  • How do I switch my iPod's "home computer?"

    I need to know how to switch my ipod nano's "home computer." Currently, I get all of my podcasts and upload photos from my IBM laptop. But I recently got a Dell desktop that I want to use as my primary iTunes machine. How can I switch so that my Dell desktop is the one that updates my iPod content, not the desktop. And I have all the updated software. Thanks.

  • How to play ipod on different computer than the library computer

    I want ot use new / different computer to play ipod contents. I can see the contents but it is all greyed out.

    you will need to have your ipod set to "manually manage songs and playlists" in order to play songs off the ipod through the other computer's itunes.
    these resources might be of some assistance:
    Using iPod with multiple computers
    Managing songs manually on iPod

  • HT2508 Playing movies on home theater system via mac

    I have a 2007 mac book. managed to connect the video to tv via the home theater but still stuck on sound. tried using the optical audio cable using the 3.5mm jack adapter but still nothing.

    I can't help with your iPod connection, but I can tell you that Samsung's info about the types of files is slightly incorrect.
    It cannot play WMA files and does not convert files itself. The most popular files it plays are mp3 and AAC.
    Any file conversion must be done in iTunes.
    Unless anyone reading this has a Samsung home system, I rather think this is tech question for them if they claim the iPod will work and it does not.
    All I can suggest is to check you've converted the files correctly.
    See: How to convert a song to a different format using iTunes.

  • Trouble Updating iPod on Home Computer Only

    Here is my situation. I just received my replacement iPod and when I got home I hooked it up to my computer and things seemed to be going just fine. It asked for me to set it up and name it etc. I started dragging songs onto it (about 400). When it got to about 200 the window popped up again asking me to set it up, name it etc. I click cancel and the songs were not longer downloading, but it was still connected and seemed to be working fine. Then I tried dragging songs onto it again and the window popped up again asking me to set it up. I clicked cancel and the iPod reset itself and started up in Disk Mode, just awesome. This is the problem I had with the first one. Then when I go to update it using version 10-12-2005 or the 11-17-2005 updater I get a variety of errors, "Can't mount iPod", "Firmware update error", "The attached iPod not supported...etc", and a few others I can't recall. I have tried both the software from the cd and the software from the website both with the same results. I even read that changing the drive letter in Disk Manager could work so I changed it to M:\. So after all this I started to think that maybe its the computer. I just wiped the hard drive two weeks ago and I only have XP Pro and Service Pack 2 install with maybe 3 other programs. When I brought the iPod to work and ran the updater it worked fine with no issues and interfaced with iTunes with no problems either. Am I missing something or are there some steps that I can try? I know it's not the iPod now but something with my computers setup at home is making it wacky. I'm scared to plug in the iPod when I get home for fear it will crash again. Thanks in advance for your help.

  • About connecting an ipod to home audio system+scratches

    i have sony CMT-HPZ9 micro system at home and trying to connect the ipod to it, and it says that i need a 2.5mm jack. What kind of cable do i need to connect them...?
    and also, there were some scratches on the back of the ipod when i bought it 2 days ago and was wondering if scratches are common on ipods. If it is not common i was thinking about exchanging it for a new one;;.
    well
    thanks

    1) Go to your local electronics store 1 that sell ipods like best buy. Ask for a easy solution to conect your ipod to your home stereo. THat will mostl likely give you the needed cables you need i know that griffin technology sell 1.
    http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/ipodcablekit/index.php
    2)Scratches occur on the ipod adn on any ipod for that fact. retuening the ipod just because of scratches is foolish. Scratches is not covered under the warranty of the ipod because it is not cause from faulty equipment. The best solution is to try and use a solutuion like brasso or ice kremem to remove the scratches.Brasso is probably the bst for the back of the ipod. SEARCH online before trying this on how to remove thre scratches!
    Then get a good case for the ipod because of the tendency to scratch like this case.

    and it would ehlp to have a clear film to protect the front of the ipod too ASAP.

  • How to play Ipod on another computer

    I want know how to play my I pod on another computer without losing my music or movies.

    If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer or with more than one library you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply. The content of iTunes and the iPod are not syncronised in this mode so the two can be different. You can directly access the content of the iPod and play it through iTunes and you can drag and drop whatever you want to the iPod from either library:
    Using iPod with Multiple computers
    Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    Syncing Music to iPod
    Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod

  • Can't get 2 Ipods onto one computer system-one Ipod frozen

    I got 2 Ipods for my kids for xmas. I can only get one Ipod to connect to the computer. I went to the Apple store and spoke directly to an associate that said, there is no problem it will be fine. I connected the Ipod to charge the battery and it said do not disconnect. However, my computer sends a message that said, USB port not recognized, please disconnet immediately. I did and know my daughters Ipod is frozen with do not disconnect on it. We have the 30GB Ipods and they have not been able to do anything with it since they got it for xmas. Any help would be very greatly appreciated.
    Thank you,

    Hey, I went and called Apple Support and actualy got a person!!! He talked me through some opening and adding information on my computer and both my girls can have their Ipods connect now. Not at the same time, just the computer recognizes both Ipods and they can do their downloads.
    The number is: 1-800-275-2273
    I hope this helps others.

  • Work computer to Ipod to Home computer?

    Hate to be an idjut, but I downloaded all my stuff on my computer at work to my Ipod, bought a new computer today, and want to transfer from my Ipod to my new computer, I just wiped out everything on the Ipod trying it but I can get it all back at work, what's the easy way?
    thanks

    i think the easiest way would be to create a playlist on the computer that you want to take your library from....and transfer your entire library to that playlist. next go to edit and choose preferences. than click on the advanced tab, and then the burning settings. change the burn format to data cd and burn the playlist with your whole library. each disc will hold anywhere from 130 to 150 songs at a time. do this until the library is burnt. it might be helpful to number the discs when burning. then take to the new computer with itunes and import the entire disc one by one. when you are done just hook up the ipod and tell it you want to make that the library for that ipod and youre done....ps you may have to authorize the new computer for purchased itunes music and you may want to change the burn setting back to audio cd when done
